February 4 is the date when a group of people in Albion who are interested in re-vitalizing Albion will begin meeting to discuss the book “BoomTown USA” by Jack Shultz.

“This book examines how small towns best prosper by leveraging their resources and working with local and state officials to break through the “one-company town” mindset to attract industry and new business relocations. In the book, Jack Schultz identifies seven and one-half factors that small towns must employ to attract new business relocations or spur new business start-ups, including a collective vision, local support and an entrepreneurial spirit.”
